[Ellen doesn't have time to figure out the video function on this thing. Her voice is extremely short and angry, barely controlled emotion leaking through. The last thing she knew she was holding Jo and telling a hellhound to go to back to hell.]

Where is she? Where's my baby?

[She's earned that much. She promised Jo she wouldn't leave her alone and she's not going to break that promise now. If this is Heaven, it's one hell of a disappointment, but she'll settle if it means she can have her daughter with her.

Her voice breaks.]

Jo?

Back so soon? Shouldn't be surprised, after all. Must be difficult to stay away from such a lovely bunch of folks for long.

[He pauses, then adds:]

Got any more of that moonshine? Personally I thought it was disgusting, but you gotta take what you can get round here.

[Which, of course, will make no sense to her, if she doesn't remember being here before. He doesn't know whether or not she does, and frankly, he doesn't care.]

[She eyes the stranger warily, not completely understanding a word he's saying.]

What do you mean back? What is this place? And who the hell are you?

Y'know, you're supposed to start the barrage of questions with 'animal, vegetable, mineral'.

[He doesn't seem at all surprised.]

So that's another name to go on the list of local amnesiacs. Must be something in the water.

I'm going to go with animal.

A bold guess.
